Hope Of A New Sun..



She was absolutely furious
and shouted, "You returned drunk
yesterday night and now
you feel too lethargic to get up
and go to work.
Let me be blunt and tell you
enough is enough..
I will not tolerate it anymore,
do you understand?"

He turned his face
and went back to sleep..

Another day had begun
just like any other day
Same Sun had arisen
from behind the same wall..
and she keeps hoping for 
a new one, someday, one day...

I Just Wonder

Written for 3WW




Compact, Jubilant, Neglected

I Just Wonder


She sits in a compact space
feeling a bit neglected
among so many others
as her wide open curious 
waiting eyes look at the door
Suddenly, there's a sparkle
she is jubilant and 
takes-off to land in the extended arms 
of her working Mom 
Back at home she will wait 
for her Dad to return..
a darling fairy to whom
her parents dream to present
golden wings when she would be
ready to take a flight..
Won't she be happier with 
normal stronger wings weaved 
by the loving hands 
of her Mom by staying at home
helping her have stronger feet
to stand confidently
before taking a flight..

I just wonder...

May the Cuckoo Fly Over Him..



Barren , Intense, Worry

May the Cuckoo Fly Over Him..


Dark seeds of worry
grow intensely fast in the
barren landscape of his mind
not his fault, not really
Clouds of love seldom rained
to let the flowers of
confidence bloom
Walking in the deserts of life
sometimes he tries to catch
his own dark shadow
that keeps on changing sides
as the scorching sun moves
from here to there..
Yet skies know that one day
his reality will change
as the clouds will burst open
letting love rain in full flow
Moon too shines offering
gleaming stars of dreams
He will have to look-up
just once, only once
may the cuckoo fly over him
singing that song of hope..

HE PAINTS A POEM.. 3WW






muddy, librated, vicious

He Paints a Poem..


Vicious thoughts of past
crawl dangerously 
on the muddy walls of his mind;
he doesn't react
he doesn't feel suffocated
he sits and quietly watch them
fading, becoming thinner
with every moment
and he keeps his composure
doesn't hold any of them
Slowly they turn into tiny dots
and he quietly rubs them off
with his own hands..nothing is left
Finally, he feels light,
and liberated..
Muddy walls of mind are cleaner
as he picks up brush of joy 
and paints a poem about
Muddy walls, Vicious thoughts
and liberation..
It has come out well, isn't it?

A gift from the Morning Sun.. 3WW




Liberal, Profane, Quarrelsome


A Gift from the Morning Sun..  


Pious ambiance all around
as the blades of green grass
talk politeness with 
one's bare feet; the orange circle 
of Sun lifts its head
from the distant horizons
and the mind blocks any
profane thoughts in the magnificence
of a delightful  morning..
And as the day passes on 
one often finds quarrelsome
crossing one's path
still one feels incapable of 
using profanity to counter
the undesirable;
Why would one want 
to sacrifice the 'bliss' 
gifted by the  Morning Sun...
Why would one?

I Will Take A Walk Alone.. 3WW






What a cathartic experience
As I gather all the negative emotions
In a plastic bag
And tie them up tightly
I want to throw them far away
in the barren lands
But it could be risky
If the plastic gets damaged
And those dark emotions
Get wings once again
Won’t my efforts to walk
confidently with my face lit up
with happy thoughts
Land in jeopardy
Well, I think instead of putting
Them all in a plastic bag
I will let them fly with the winds
Perhaps the comfort of
Melding with clouds and trees
and listening to birds on the way
Will soothe them, I think, for now 
I will take a walk alone..
